Ministry
Temple of Earth and Spirit
A spiritual community rooted in reverence for the Earth, sacred ceremony, and the belief that there are many paths to the sacred.
My spiritual path eventually led somewhere I never expected.
It led me into ministry.
I am the founding pastor of the Temple of Earth and Spirit, a spiritual community rooted in reverence for the Earth, sacred ceremony, direct relationship with the Divine, spiritual sovereignty, and the belief that there are many paths to the sacred.
The Temple grew from years of spiritual exploration and ceremonial work and from a desire to create something deeper than a collection of ceremonies or retreats.
I wanted to help create a spiritual home.
A place where sacred experience is treated as sacred.
A place where people are encouraged to develop their own relationship with the Divine rather than being told what they must believe.
A place where ceremony, community, personal responsibility, and integration belong together.
Sacred Medicine as Sacrament
Within the Temple of Earth and Spirit, sacred medicines are approached as sacraments within a religious and ceremonial context.
Our work is not centered simply around having an experience.
Preparation
matters.
Intention
matters.
Ceremony
matters.
Community
matters.
And perhaps most importantly, integration matters.
The insights that arise through profound spiritual experiences are only the beginning. The deeper work is learning how to carry those insights into our relationships, choices, patterns, responsibilities, and everyday lives. This is why integration is not an afterthought within the Temple. It is part of the spiritual practice itself.
One Path, Two Expressions
Ascension with Angela and the Temple of Earth and Spirit are connected through my spiritual path, but they serve different purposes.
Ascension with Angela
My personal spiritual and healing practice — Kambo, Reiki, Reiki education, energy healing, spiritual clearing, spellwork, firewalking, and other forms of personal and spiritual exploration.
Temple of Earth and Spirit
My ministry and spiritual community — sacred medicine retreats, sacramental ceremonies, integration gatherings, and other Temple ministries held within the religious life of the church.
Keeping these two expressions distinct allows each to remain true to its purpose while still honoring the spiritual path from which they both grew.
You Are Welcome to Explore
You do not have to share my exact beliefs to begin asking your own sacred questions.
You do not need someone else to define the Divine for you.
And you do not need to surrender your sovereignty in order to enter spiritual community.
If you feel called to learn more about the Temple, its beliefs, sacred practices, ceremonies, retreats, or community, I invite you to explore.
"Earth beneath us. Spirit within us. The sacred between us."
